I completely agree. Last year was the first year I stayed ski free. There's nothing better then gliding through the deep pow on a board! After all, the world is made of perfect powder!

yeah baby beluga stole 3 of my avatars in one day.

I certainly didn't get banned for the food for thought thread. Ask AlpineK for details.

Scotty, did you drink too much already? I'm not banned. Obviously.

There is no compromise. It's quite simple. If you don't AT ski you are a communist. A sissy, patcholi-smelling, Medeski-Martin-and-Wood-listening, k2/free tibet-bumpersticker-brandishing communist. What we really need is a AT-BOARD!

Thanks, Trask.

child molesters and rapist aught to burn at the stake capitol punishment is wrong.

Yeah, but it's fun! 500 foot snow level!

Whatever. A snowboard looks like great fun in soft snow. But on hard snow, or skinning, it seems like skis are more efficient. Of course, what would be the best compromise is the TELEBOARD!!!!

Keep the ice sac, slice the tool tubes off, and sew a few straps on.

I would go but I've got a midterm on Monday. Post photos if you go, John!

You are full of shit. Stay on the groomers, chump. Cracked, shut the fuck up, how long have you been making turns for, two seasons? You're the most pathetic kind of beater. The guy who thinks he's all hot shit because he hikes 5 hours in the rain to go hit a stupid ass kicker and land on his ass. Two different trips! I appreciate your opinion. I'll try to use your constructive criticism to better myself. You only ski powder and corn? If I'd been skiing long enough then I'd know that I don't know anything? Interesting. You're uninvited to my funeral. Overall, thanks for the support. ASSHOLE. I thought you only moderate the Freshiezone? And if you're serious, note that Erock's post is WAAAAAY more negative, heated, and insulting than mine. What next, you're going to ban Mattp because he agrees with me? You could be the next Erik! I still maintain that saying that skiing is never uncomfortable or not fun is beyond stupid. Have fun skiing your corn and perfect powder.

You are full of shit. Stay on the groomers, chump.

I'm just glad that we're all having such a productive discussion here. Another ten pages and we'll have saved the world! Let's keep up the good work.

I think we're getting so caught up in this 'debate' that we've forgotten that sport and trad routes are not mutually exclusive. It's not like EVERYTHING is bolted, nor is it that EVERYTHING is runout and bold and dangerous. IMHO, keep the sport routes at the sport crags, the trad routes where they've been established, don't bolt cracks, leave the mountains drill-free, and think before you do anything. In other words, bolt shit at Smith, not at Seneca Rocks. Don't retrobolt Orbit. Leave the Bosch at home when you go do Stuart. Think about your impact before you pry off that flake, place that pin, or scrub that crack. Difficult, eh?

like costco??? Only if you want 500+ of them....

Smith in winter is perfect! But don't tell anyone.

You gotta get you some skiz! Shouldn't this be in the NEW FUND MUFFY'S SKIS FORUM ?

Am not! I'm very nice...in real life. This place is corrupting my yooth!

Word.

Every couple should be required to have at most one kid. For the next few generations.

Didn't Pope vow to leave and never come back? Feel free to reestablish your promise.

Hell yeah, you are.
